and before that a jewelry heist, like something right out of mov movies. we'll take a look at what's going on in the mediterranean. and beyonce, the news that could affect her blockbuster concert tour. that coming up. we begin with the train derailment in connecticut. we begin with michelle franzen. what's the latest? >> reporter: good morning, lester. a look at part of one of the trains back here, resting on the tress tressel. you can see, construction going on at the time where these two trains collided. ntsb, a team of investigators, are on hand today, looking at some evidence and trying to figure out exactly what caused this derailment. it occurred just at the height of the friday commute, just after 6:00. just about an hour outside of new york city, in this busy corridor that services commuters between boston and new york and rescuers certainly had to help

dozens of passengers out that were taken to nearby hospitals, as many as 60 people we're told taken to nearby hospitals to be treated for various injuries. about five in critical condition. and one was in serious condition, according to the governor, who had a press conference last night. what the initial investigation shows that the -- one of the trains that was heading eastbound toward new york city, packed with about 300 passengers, somehow derailed off of the tracks here and collided with a westbound train that was also carrying hundreds of passengers. again, rescuers scrambling in initial moments to get people off of those -- out of those trains and to help them. fortunately, no one was killed, but investigators will be poring over this wreckage today and, lester, it could be days before the wreckage and the service is restored. amtrak has also suspended service between new york city and new haven. >> michelle franzen in

connecticut, thank you. plenty of severe weather happening this weekend. residents whose homes were torn apart in granbury, texas, will be allowed to survey damage today, one day after governor rick perry toured the area. this weekend, 35 million americans are in the path of potentially dangerous storms. dylan dreyer is tracking the weather for us. >> d today could be the start of a severe weather outbreak. the moisture streaming in off the gulf of mexico. that puts dewpoint in the low to mid 70s, unstable air combines with the energy to the west of the cold front and could spawn some very strong storms as we go through this afternoon and this evening. in orange there from nebraska, right down into oklahoma, that is the area we could see some strong tornadoes, later on this evening. elsewhere in red, we could be dealing with large hail, also some damaging wind gusts, right now, we have some very strong

storms, not severe, but strong storms moving through alabama and through georgia, just south of atlanta and up across minneapolis and back into south dakota. we have heavy downpours, frequent cloud to ground lightning and potential for strong, gusty winds. that's not the severe weather we'll see today. back through parts of nebraska, into kansas, oklahoma today and then tomorrow it spreads ever so slowly to the east, and tomorrow, in fact, we are looking at the possibility of tornadoes at any point during the day, even during the afternoon, whereas today, mostly just this eechblg juvening. in kansas city, we could see hail two inches of diameter and a strong possibility of tornadoes. something we'll be watching all weekend long. erica. >> thank you, dylan. we'll check in for more on the national forecast. powerball fever is spreading. tonight's jackpot is $600

million and people lining up across the country for their chance at winning big. brian mooar in washington, d.c. where folks are getting an early start picking lucky numbers. brian, good morning. >> reporter: lester, a low-grade fever in washington right now. but we've been seeing people come in steadily. you know, your chances of winning, less than your chances of becoming president, the odd there, 1-10. the odds here in the powerball? 1-175 million. $2 and a dream, all people need. why they are doing. what would they do with all of the money? a couple people we talked to today. one guy bought it for his wife. he doesn't gamble, of course. a firefighter said he would do his job, but with a different attitude. one guy said he would give it all to charity, spend of rest of his life, helping kids get into college, helping neighbors, helping churches. a lot of people are dreaming and

they can keep on dreaming. the lottery held across 43 states, district of columbia and virgin islands. virginia alone expected to sell $5 million tickets per day. a rate of $9,9,500 per hour. >> good to dream. thank you very much. a very different scenario in washington than powerball. obama administration reeling, trying to deal with three big controversies. could that derail the second-term agenda. kristen welker is live at the white house with the latest. >> reporter: you are right. that is the question. this is one of president obama's worst weeks to date and it ended with a contentious congressional hearing and the outgoing irs commissioner under fire. in his weekly address, president obama tried to shift focus away

from the mounting controversies and back to the economy. >> more than anything, the american people make me optimistic about where we're headed at a nation. >> reporter: nothing could overshadow the fireworks on capitol hill friday. when acting irs commissioner steven miller, who tendered his resignation earlier this week, testified. >> we centralized cases based on political activity. >> reporter: he apologized that groups had been targeted for extra scrutiny. the tactic was a foolish mistake, miller said, but not a case of politics. >> why did you mislead congress and the american people on this? >> mr. chairman, i did not mislead congress nor the american people. i answered the questions as they were asked. >> reporter: this after the white house trying to tamp down criticism over the response to the benghazi attack, released 100 pages of e-mails and notes on wednesday. and the president came under fire this week for the justice department's widely criticized

seizure of journalist phone records. >> how do you feel about comparisons of your critic's comparisons of this week's scandals to nixon? >> reporter: the scandals could threaten the second-term agenda. >> a relatively limited window to get things done, and this is eating into it. >> reporter: the irs controversy could have the most staying power, because the agency impacts average americans. >> the irs knows the controversy is the one easiest to understand and could be the most damaging. >> reporter: another reason the irs scandal has staying power, friday's hearing is likely the first in a series of hearings and investigations. white house officials say they and the president learned about the irs targeting last week. erica. >> kristen welker at the white house this morning. kristen, thank you. john harwood, chief

washington correspond spoenent more. when you look at the scandals, irs, benghazi, a.p. issues, is the white house handling this correctly? >> hard to say whether they are handling it correctly, erica, until more time passes and we see the president's political standing. they ended the week on an aggressive note. slow on irs, but waited until they got the i.g. report and fired steven miller. that was adecisive step and the president rejected calls for a special counsel. on benghazi, they finally released e-mails after republicans did some political maneuvering to put out stories on the benghazi attack. and ap phone roecords case, the did lay out their rationale and support a shield law. >> what does this do to the

second-term agenda? are we starting to work their way to washington? >> it potentially could interfere with his agenda, but, remember, republicans themselves have powerful incentives to cooperate with him on some issues like immigration, they need that to broaden their party base and on the budget deficit, the deng that's potentially going to ripen later in the year, both sides have to get something done. they have reason to work together. >> there is caution, even though there is red meat. there is caution from former speaker newt gingrich about tempering expectations here and being more conservative in the way they are going after these things. >> no question about it they saw under newt gingrich, it backfired in 1998 when they overplayed their hand against bill clinton. the republican party, it's not that their base is not fired up

about disliking president obama and what democrats stand for. the problem, the base isn't wide enough. they need to bring more people in, and there is a question as to whether they go so aggressively, they impede their party in a way that makes it more appealing to more people. >> how are all of these issues affecting what the american people think about the administration and republicans? either one coming out ahead at this point in terms of public opinion? >> clearly irs has the most staying power. let's parse that. the ap phone records, that's a decision made in a case that can't be talked about a whole lot. those of us in journalism may be upset, the public may not be all that upset. and just liken hans enhanced interrogation during the bush administration. benghazi, the more we learn about the aftermath, the less it looks like a scandal and more it

looks like typical bureaucratic and public relations maneuvering. the irs if it's partisan, then that's very bad and the white house is involved it could be extremely damaging to the president. those haven't been proven yet, even though many republicans assume and believe it's true. >> john harwood, thank you. >> you bet. the rest of the morning's top stories, including military muscle flexing on the part of north korea. jenna wolfe has the headlines. new this morning, north korea has launched a series of short-range missiles into the sea off the coast of the korean peninsula. the south korean military tracked the three missiles. they are not speculating as to why north korea chose to launch them now. dealing with another issue that plagued the administration, top military leaders are vowing

a crackdown on sex abuse in the military. chuck hagel says tens of thousands of people who currently deal with programs designed to respond and prohibit sexual harassment and military recruiters will be recertified on how to handle the situations. police in florida are investigating a breakin at the home of didi trotter. among the stolen items, some olympic rings and other memorabilia from the time at 2012 games. they don't think trotter was specifically targeted and there is a rise in burglaries in that area as of late. venezuela is dealing with a crisis of epic proportions. it's almost hard to talk about. they are running out of toilet paper. >> oh, no. >> it's bad. really bad. the government is blaming political opponents for the toilet paper shortfall, and economists say it stems from price controls meant to make basic goods available to the

poor. people have waited days to buy it. a four roll per person rule. in venezuela, they just can't spare a square. >> totally let down. >> totally wiped out. >> he's been waiting all morning to use that. >> my line was a little better. although i do like your line. >> okay. finally, big story. there are crazy world records that are sought out to break through blood, sweat, and tears and then there is this story. clinton shepherd is attempting to break the world record for longest ferris ride, sort of like the longest casual stroll in the park, only dysier. he is riding the navy pier record in chicago. he is going for 48 hours. before you go, that's nuts, he has a flat screen tv, pillows, a chandelier and a smartphone and he gets a bathroom break for

five minutes every hour. >> wait a minute. >> hold on, that might be a record my grandmother can break as well. not to take anything away from him. still a great record. >> exactly. >> dylan dreyer back with the rest of the national forecast. strong storms in the plains states and a lot of thunderstorms elsewhere. down in the southeast through the mid-atlantic, up through the northern plains, north dakota, but that area in red, that's the area where we could see strongest storms and tornadoes possible. especially this evening across western nebraska, western kansas and to oklahoma. not so much including the panhandle, but we'll keep an eye out of potential strong storms most likely >> we've got some patchy low clouds outside this morning and we'll see sunshine inland during the afternoon, temperatures climbing into the 70s and maybe close to 80 out by fairfield and santa rosa.

65, san francisco. mid-70s in san jose today. rest of the weekend will be warmer, especially inland. warmest day for monday. cooler approaching the middle of the week. and that's your latest forecast. lester. >> dylan, thank you very much. this morning, o.j. simpson waiting to hear if a judge in las vegas will grant him a new trial. simpson blames his 2008 armed robbery and kidnapping conviction on his former lawyer, saying yale galanter did his job so badly, his conviction should be thrown out. gallaanter defended himself at hearing on friday. lisa bloom joins us. >> good morning, lester. >> more than an awkward exchange. we think of that attorney/client privilege. in this case, simpson had to waive that, and galanter throws him under the bus.

did i characterize that correctly? >> absolutely right. the most stunning moment in the courtroom yesterday. yale galanter had to ultimately say that o.j. simpson told him that he knew that his boys as he put it allegedly, were bringing guns into the hotel room. that was the key issue in that trial, that o.j. had always denied. >> o.j. also makes the case that his attorney in this case, galanter, didn't present him with some plea options that the prosecution had offered that would have limited his amount of jail time. if true, that not a strong avenue of appeal to say your lawyer didn't represent you properly? >> it sure is. but a couple point. it's a he said/he said dispute. will you believe o.j., when he's accusing his lawyer of not relaying plea offers, or the attorney who says i absolutely did that and o.j. would not accept the plea offer that included jail time. that o.j. insisted on probation only. as an attorney, i'm also

confused as to why this attorney wouldn't have put that in writing. any significant moments between an attorney and client are usually memorialized in writing, like a fee agreement, which in this case was not reduced to writing. $500,000 exchanged hands and no writing substantiating it. >> awas there a conversation, i it's okay to do this, and if that constitutes a conflict of interest. does it? >> well, that's right. look, if yale galanter told him, sure, go ahead, take a couple of friends, take a gun, go in, kidnap people, threaten them, and take items, that would be a big problem. ith hait's hard to believe any attorney would give that advice. there is no writing, no smoking gun supporting o.j.'s position. i think this is really a hail mary pass. >> how often do these cases succeed? you pick a lawyer, go to trial,

lose? is it common for the defendant to say it's the lawyer's fault? and how many of these cases go in favor of the defendant? >> he's probably more likely to win powerball. this is really a long, long, long shot, lester. o.j. has already lost all of his appeals. he's entitled to ts habeas corpus proceeding, but it's unlikely he will prevail. >> this is not an appeal of the case itself? >> right. this is saying his attorney screwed up so badly that o.j. should be freed. utt a very difficult legal standard. you have to show that the attorney made some mistakes. that those mistakes were so significant that o.j. would have been acquitted had they not happened. that's a tough legal standard to me. >> might need to buy the lottery ticket after all. 6$600 million doesn't go as far in jail as it used to. still to come, why would a victoria's secret model give it all up for a quiet life out of

good saturday morning to you. looking live at a very pretty shot of the bay bridge. the bay lights look like they're not quite on. somebody left them on. i'm kris sanchez. the forecast for the weekend looks how you think? >> looks great. we got a lot of events coming up. the tour in east bay today, over in san francisco tomorrow. you can see we're in the 40s and 50s. nap that to 39. we've got dry air there. chilly and dry across parts of the north bay. a sea breeze will keep temperatures around the inner bay over towards oakland, mid-60s, san francisco. mid-70s in san jose. livermore and pleasantton, upper

hour with a pretty disturbing story. a dallas woman called 911 on the day she was allegedly killed by her ex-husband. despite hearing her screams for help over the phone it took nearly an hour for police to arrive. "rock center's" kate snow here to tell us more. >> dallas' 911 center came under fire for years, overwhelmed, under staffed. but last summer, one case became a wakeup call that the city needed to treat domestic violence calls a lot more seriously. >> dallas 911, what is your emergency? >> reporter: on a friday morning in dallas last august, a woman was clearly in trouble. >> why are you doing this? >> hello. >> deanna cook never actually spoke to the 911 operator, but her screams and pleading lasted close to nine minutes. the attacker heard on the tape too. >> i'm going to kill you, i'm going to kill you.

>> reporter: two days later when deanna didn't show up for church, deanna's family went to the home and kicked in the door. >> all the stuff on the floor and i walked in the bathroom. >> okay. that's when we found her, she was in the bathtub, and it was horrible. >> reporter: her family would later learn that deanna called 911 on the day she died and it took nearly an hour for officers to get to her house. on the way, they stopped at a 7-eleven and when they arrived at the home, they knocked on the door and left after five minutes. >> you knew the call came from her. why didn't you do what you are supposed to do? >> reporter: what does it say to women in this city when that happened? >> it would say to a woman these aren't priority calls. >> page blink is head of one of the largest family violence centers in dallas. >> it would say that sometimes they get away with it. and maybe you do everything

right and still die. >> reporter: last year the 911 call center in dallas was short staffed that 30% of operator positions were unfilled. at the same time, incident of domestic violence at a record high. >> in 2011, we had 10 domestic violence murders, in 2012, we had 26. so we know we have a problem. >> reporter: the 911 operator took deanna's call. they blame you, they said deanna cook died because of a botched 911 call mishandled by you. >> i didn't blame people for thinking that, because they don't know all the information. >> reporter: and the obvious question is how could you not stand up and scream and say, i got to get somebody to this person right now? >> i didn't hear it. if i heard as much as you are saying, then i would have. >> reporter: the head sets that 911 operators use don't block out background noise. >> what i did hear initially was

the screaming. to me, that was enough to get the police there. >> of course, that's not what happened. the operator says she became the scapegoat of a system that broke down every step of the way, she's okay with that because of improvements that have been made. better head sets, more than 911 operate sxorzs and a priority o domestic calls. >> we think of domestic calls, there is an urgency. >> it is better now. a check of the weather from dylan. >> good morning, a quiet day in the northeast. cloudy to start off the day. later on this evening, watching the preakness. the second round of the triple crown. most of the cloudy skies will be around through the majority of the day, but the showers hold off to later. the course shouldn't be too, too wet. triy e drier than it was for the

ms. bisutti has made numerous fabrications and misstatements on her brief association with the company. but her pastor says the story rings true. >> it's someone pursuing fame and success that those wouldn't bring her the kind of satisfaction she was hoping for. >> kylie has written an experience on her experience called "i'm no angel." she is with us this morning. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> great to have you here. write in the book why you gave it up. for people who haven't read the book, this is your dream job. why did you want to be that victor victoria's secret angel? >> you know, i really was just pursuing success, fame, attention, and money doesn't hurt either. you know, i just wanted it. and it was my dream. >> at one point, you decided as you were going through this, and you were married at the time, it didn't feel right, and it affected you internally, and off

quit, a little later on, you wrote this tweet. "i quit being a victoria's secret mod towel become a problem ve proverbs 31 wife." what does that mean? >> i'm respecting my marriage, honoring my marriage, a world where divorce rates are constantly on the rise. i feel you have to protect your marriage and for me, to honor my husband, and dress modestly and not be in lingerie for the world to see. that is one step. >> your husband had been very supportive of your career. you were a model when the two of you met. and he supported you in the victoria's secret model competition. what changed? >> god changed my heart and opened my eyes to the fact i wasn't being the type of role model for young girls that i could be, and that i am pursuing now. i don't want girls to look at my images and want to start

throwing up their food or acquiring eating disorders because that's what they think they have to do to feel beautiful in this world. that's what i used to think i had to do to feel beautiful. >> that's what you did when you were in modeling. you talk about women you met along the way, going through things like that. starved yourself, worked out like crazy it seems from what i read. but you had to know going into it, too, when you are modeling lingerie, are you clearly selling sex. >> yes shyou are clearly sellin sex. even if you are modeling not linger lingerie, but what are you modeling on over the side of th chair. are you still selling sex. >> victoria's secret came out with a statement, saying that there are numerous fabrications, misstatements, that you exaggerated the relationship you
